Singh was posted at the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp at the Moinul Haq Stadium, where young women players have come to attend practice sessions for the 34th National Games in Jharkhand beginning February 12.

Manisha, a native of Himachal Pradesh in her early 20s, was a member of the Bihar women's kabaddi team. Police say he had been stalking her for the last few days.

Police said Singh, who hails from Rajasthan, belongs to the 131st CRPF battalion.
